The American Technology Council is one of the projects of Jared Kushner, the son-in-law to the president. An all-star line-up has reportedly been confirmed, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Google parent company Alphabet chairman Eric Schmidt, and IBM CEO Ginni Rometty.

The summit is reportedly scheduled for June 19.

The tech industry as a whole has an uneasy relationship with President Trump. Prior to his shock election win in 2016, it overwhelmingly opposed his candidacy. Trump meanwhile, directly attacked the industry on a number of fronts, including Apple’s use of overseas labour to build phones and its privacy stance, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ ownership of The Washington Post, and with promises to reform the American visa system heavily relied on by US tech companies.

“I know many of you share my disappointment with the White House’s decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement,” Cook wrote in a memo to Apple employees in early June. “I spoke with President Trump on Tuesday and tried to persuade him to keep the U.S. in the agreement. But it wasn’t enough.”
